Philips recalls certain Brilliance iCT-CT scanners that may increase contrast volume when set to pounds, potentially affecting patient imaging safety. Affected units include specific software versions and serial numbers.
When setting patient weight unit preferences to pounds, SynchRight P3T (Personalized Patient Protocol) software will result in increased contrast volume, resulting in increased contrast volume recommended for the patient.
Philips is recalling specific models of Brilliance iCT-CT scanners that could increase contrast volume in patient scans when weight settings are configured in pounds. This may lead to unnecessary radiation exposure or imaging errors if not corrected.
When patient weight units are set to pounds in the SynchRight P3T software, the system increases contrast volume for the scan. This could lead to higher radiation exposure or inaccurate imaging results depending on the patient's actual weight.
Healthcare facilities using the recalled Philips Brilliance iCT-CT systems with specific software versions are affected. Medical staff and patients using these systems may be at risk if weight settings are incorrectly configured.
Check for software version 4.1.10 with SynchRight Option on the system. Affected units have serial numbers starting with 87013 or 87008 or 87011 and specific UDI codes.
Verify the software version is 4.1.10 with SynchRight Option to determine if the system is affected.
Check if your system has software version 4.1.10 with SynchRight Option and serial numbers starting with 87013, 87008, or 87011. Contact Philips for further instructions.
The recall addresses a potential increase in contrast volume when weight settings are in pounds, which could affect imaging accuracy but does not pose an immediate safety risk.
Look for serial numbers starting with 87013, 87008, or 87011 and software version 4.1.10 with SynchRight Option.
